What type of matting should be used to frame cross stitch projects?

Matting Colors

In general, lighter mats are a better choice than darker ones. Dark matting tends to make a project look smaller, although in some cases this may be the desired artistic effect. When double or triple matting, use a darker color for the inner mat to set off the piece.
